iManage Pricing

As law firms expand and adapt to new technology, the need for a Document Management System (DMS) becomes paramount to ensure their mounting pile of documents stays organized and secure. This has driven many firms to look at software like iManage Work.

Yet, iManage’s pricing structure isn’t transparent, with no information being available on their website. In this article, we’ll discuss known pricing details for iManage Work.

iManage Work – Cloud and On-Premise

iManage Work stands out from competitors by offering both cloud and on-premise solutions, catering to different types of law firms.

Let’s break down each option.

Cloud-based iManage Work is more flexible and is easier to on-board. Like other cloud-based services, users can access their documents whenever and wherever they need to, whether at court, in transit, or from the comfort of their homes.

iManage’s cloud-based offering also emphasizes security, including end-to-end encryption, consistent backups, and strict compliance standards, assuring firms of their data’s safety. Plus, it’s the more cost-efficient option, with minimal upfront investment and no need to maintain a physical server.

On-premise iManage Work is ideal for firms who want more control over their systems. It’s great for firms that require specific IT configurations or that have stringent data handling requirements.

There is a significant upfront cost involved in setting up the infrastructure, but it is a one-time investment. In the long run, it can economically benefit firms who want to maintain their infrastructure internally.

iManage Pricing – Implementation

We’ll start our analysis of iManage pricing with a review of typical implementation costs.

iManage doesn’t handle the implementation (or onboarding) of new customers themselves. Instead, they refer new customers to an Implementation Partner (of which there are over 150). These are companies that perform software migrations and will usually have experience with iManage Work.

Because of this, iManage pricing as it relates to implementation varies. Each Implementation Partner has their own pricing structure.

At Uptime Legal, we work with numerous clients and consultants for iManage. The ranges below represent typical implementation costs for iManage Work.
